0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Rureau of Indian Standards on 10 July 1987, after the draft finalized by the Lubricants and Related Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and related Products Division Council. 0.2 A number of rolling mills turning out accurate profiles are using These bearoil film bearing on the back up and/or on the main rolls. ings need a high grade bearing oil possessing excellent water separating properties because of the peculiar feature of water contamination which This standard was originally issued in is so common in these systems. 1972 and the same is being revised to align the standard with the latest JPSS standard with a view to enabling the steel plants to procure the right type of material suited to their needs. 0.3 For the purpose of standard is complied pressing the result of dance with IS : 2-1960". the rounded off value in this standard. deciding whether a particular requirement of this exwith, the final value, observed or calculated, a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accorThe number of significant places retained in should be the same as that of the specified value
